Article 34 Reporting and follow-up of infringements

By 1 March each year, a fisheries administration must report to the NEAFC Secretary on the status of the proceedings concerning infringements of the conservation and management measures adopted by NEAFC which were committed during the previous calendar year. The infringements must continue to be listed in each subsequent report until the proceedings are concluded.

The report referred to in paragraph 1 shall indicate the current status of the proceedings and in particular whether the case is pending, under appeal or still under investigation. The report shall describe in specific terms any sanctions imposed, stating in particular the level of fines, the value of forfeited fish and/or gear and any written warnings given and, if no action has been taken, it shall state the reasons thereof.
